information as necessary and to monitor your progress.

click ‘Login to Student Connect’
(alternatively, type https://student.connect.avondale.edu.au into your browser address field and
press ‘Enter’)
2. Enter your User ID number - your student number without the ‘s’ or ‘0’. (i.e. s054321 would be 54321)
